"The impacts of human-induced climate change are largely mediated by water, such as
alterations in precipitation and glacial melt patterns, variations in river flow,
increased occurrence of droughts and floods, and sea level rise in densely populated
coastal areas. Such phenomena impact both urban and rural communities in developed,
emerging, and developing countries. Taking a systems approach, this book analyzes
evidence from 26 countries and identifies common barriers and bridges for local adaptation
to climate change through water resources management. It includes a global set of
case studies from places experiencing increased environmental and social pressure
due to population growth, development and migration, including in Europe, Asia, Africa,
North and South America and Australia. All chapters consider the crosscutting themes
of adaptive capacity, equity, and sustainability. These point to resilient water allocation
policies and practices that are capable of protecting social and environmental interests,
whilst ensuring the efficient use of an often-scarce resource. "
